As invitational theory continues to develop and invitational practices continue to be investigated, researchers will seek reliable and valid measures upon which to base their findings and conclusions. This article summarizes validity and reliability studies of the Inviting-Disinviting index (Wiemer & Purkey, 1994) and an adapted version of the index for children (Schmidt, 1996). Results of these studies show weak to strong test-retest reliability for the 101 and strong content validity. Further investigation of both the original and adapted version of the IDI is recommended.
